-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
Introduction to US laws and regulations pertaining to greenhouse gases and the generation, transmission, and integration of renewable energy into the electrical, transportation and building heat systems. Explores judicial opinions but also considers technical and scientific sources. RESTRICTIONS: Freshman and Sophomores must have permission from instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
Study of the unique physics and dynamics of the ocean and atmosphere that occur in polar regions, particularly at the interfaces between atmosphere, ice, ocean and land. Emphasis will be on exploring cutting edge research in these rapidly changing environments. PREREQ: MAST382 and GEOG220 or equivalent.
-
3.00 Credits
The cellular physiology of marine algae with a focus on the phytoplankton in today's ocean. Emphasis on a range of issues from photosynthesis, nutrient dynamics, and primary production to community dynamics such as seasonal succession and competition among different marine algae.
-
3.00 Credits
The ecology of reef building corals and coral reef environments are addressed, with an emphasis on control of species diversity and community dynamics, as well as physiological aspects of reproduction, symbioses, and calcification. The geological development of different reefs through time, reticulate evolution, and current policy issues related to human development and reef management are also introduced.
-
3.00 Credits
The geology, ecology, evolution of coral reef environments are addressed in a field setting. An integrated approach of classroom instruction and theory will complement hands on observation, sampling, and experimentation in the field. Larger issues of climate change and human pressures will also be examined.
-
3.00 Credits
How microorganisms drive geological processes in modern environments, and the roles of microbial life on ancient Earth. Discussion of literature on topics such as biomineralization, weathering, microfossils, biomarkers, astrobiology, genomics, evolution, and redox history of Earth.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
Principles, capabilities and limitations of analytical methods to the chemistry of marine waters and sediments. Analytical methods include electrochemical, spectroscopic, chromatographic, electron microscopy and surface techniques. Emphasis on the analysis of trace components (biochemical, inorganic and organic) in the marine environment. Laboratory experiments. RESTRICTIONS: May be repeated for credit when topics vary.
-
3.00 Credits
In marine science, experimental work in the field and laboratory involves understanding and controlling the impacts of a wide-range of environmental variables. In this course, students are taught fundamental statistical concepts and approaches, data analysis and visualization strategies, and a modern statistical software package (R).
-
3.00 Credits
Overview of marine invertebrate structure and function physiology, development and life history, and ecology within the context of their evolutionary origins and phylogeny. Appreciation of their biodiversity and significance in marine ecosystems. Special attention to systematics and taxonomy of important groups and local fauna.
-
3.00 Credits
This course examines marine organic matter (OM) as it relates to marine and global carbon cycling including: 1) seawater and sediment OM molecular composition and reactivity, 2) OM biomarkers, 3) current OM geochemical analytical techniques. Activities include Lectures, discussions, student presentations, and a research paper. PREREQ: CHEM213 and CHEM215 or CHEM321 and CHEM322 or CHEM331, CHEM332, CHEM333 and CHEM334.
